I was in a pinch about a year ago. I live in Richmond, VA, which does not have any Fry's-like stores where you can pick and choose non-mainstream stuff like you're looking for.
I needed something immediately (either a different, older laptop, or whatever USB <--> serial cable I could find) so I went to Radio Shack and paid a ridiculous sum for the single cable they had available. The good news is that it has worked flawlessly on Win7 x64 without a hitch, and it's now a constant companion in my laptop bag. It is also pretty long at something like 4 or 5 feet, which has helped in a few space-constrained situations.
